while you're at it make sure you wipe down with winter lemon pledge.

Too many pollens and molds in this October air. I had to put some antihistimine in my tires with the new air. I used liquid Dayquill , it helps balance.

I like using helium. helps with the gas milage. My bike seems like it floats down the road.

I have been running 78% nitrogen with no problems so far, however there is another 1% of inert gases, I think they use the other inert gases as a solvent that keeps the nitrogen from falling out of solution, i asked my local stealer if he could increase the nitrogen ratios he said he would call his supplier to confirm. I'm pretty confident my current ratios are correct as I live on the gulf coast (sea level) so I don't have to adjust for partial pressures like some of the guys in higher altitudes.

If I add helium, particularly to my back tire will it effect the settings on my progressive 940 shocks? I just got em dialed in.

Just a reminder for you folks that have bikes that are still under warranty, you MUST USE ONLY Certified MOCO air. Make sure you pick up Winter Blend.

just had my 30k service done. my dealer only uses Nitrogen. in fact they told me that if i need to add air to my tires for any reason the next time i come by there, they will deflate the tires and put back in pure nitrogen again free of charge. i think thats a bit extreme, but it doesnt bother me since im not paying for it each time.
